I have seen solutions which involve changing the classpath() and distribution URL, but I have already done it.

from my build.gradle file:

dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath("de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:4.1.2")
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }

from gradle-wrapper

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4.2-all.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

None of this fixes the error, additionally, i have noticed that running gradlew clean also provokes the same error

I have also tried adding the following piece of code to the build.gradle file

android {
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
}

kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_11.toString()
}
}

kindly help me fix this, I used to use EXPO CLI previously and everything was working well, All of this happened in an attempt to learn the React-native CLI.

    Found the solution, not sure why it works though

    i used the following commands to start the build

    npm start

    now open another terminal and execute the following

    npm run android

    instead of

    npx react-native start

    and

    npx react-native run-android

    where the latter is suggested by the official documentation

    I am facing the same issue where All Java packages were installed or synced perfectly but kotlin packages were not synced it throws an error of kotlin compilation.

    I install kotlin package on Android Studio by following This.

    Android Studio → Preferences… →Plugins → Browse Repository → type “Kotlin” in search box → install

    After that, you need to remove the cache of this project from

    File -> Invalidate caches -> Invalidate and Restart.

    After that when your project is re-open and synced successfully then clean your project from Build -> Clean Project.

    After that, all packages of kotlin were installed perfectly.

    I had the same problem and to solve this problem I did:

    1. Installed java 11 and uninstalled that java 8;
    2. In package.json I prefixed the version with ^, then yarn install. (Update react native version 0.68.2 for ^0.68.2)
